hook, line, & cyb3r

hook, line, & cyb3r is a GMless zero prep pick-up-and-play cyberpunk one shot of blade-wielding bounty hunters and neon-tinged heists, powered by Go Fish. An array of generative tables are layered over mechanics you've known your whole life– the game of Go Fish– sliding you effortlessly into the chaotic professional lives of shadowrunners, bounty hunters, or some other type of high tech dystopic gig economy adjacent freelance criminals for hire.
